Chapter 69: Mysterious Magic

Aria's jaw dropped as she kept staring at her hand.

Her hand was fine; no exposed flesh and bone. There was not even a single scratch, as if everything that happened with Swan before was just her hallucination. 

"T-this can't be. I remember my skin slowly melted, and I could see my bones!" Aria insisted. "I-I lost my hand entirely! Your Majesty, you have to believe me!"

Gale was pissed. Had it not for her status as Swan's sister, he would've gotten her kicked out of the castle as soon as possible.

"I think you're hallucinating, Princess," Gale said. "Swan told me that you suddenly turned hysterical, crying and screaming before you fainted. Did something happen on your way to my castle?" 

"She's lying!" Aria exclaimed. "Your Majesty, I'm telling the truth. Swan is a witch! She used her spell to burn my hand and then restore it, so everyone would think that I'm hallucinating!"
